How do Facebook profiles get hacked and why? - Taylor - 02-28-2013 10:28 AM
Just wondering. Mine was hacked in February, but thankfully it wasn't bad. All they did was post a comment on my friend's profile. It said something like "I made a Valentine's card for you. Click here to see it." The link was probably to a virus, but whatever. When I tried to log in, it wouldn't let me, so I had to change my password. So, I was just wondering how people do it. Also, why do they do it? I mean what can they do with people's personal information?

Sounds like you got Phished, not hacked. Phishing is when someone makes a fake login page, and you login with your info, and it gets logged. It wasn't a person that phished you, per say, but a website someone owns. Then they use the login to spread their website/page/virus, etc around the internet.
